DCRMTA: Deep Causal Representation Learning for Multi-Touch Attribution
Quick summary
arXiv:2401.08875v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multi-touch attribution (MTA) is essential for estimating the contribution of individual advertising touchpoints to user conversions. While recent studies incorporate causal inference to mitigate confounding bias from user preferences, existing multi-stage deconfounding pipelines exhibit a critical structural flaw: they indiscriminately filter out user influences, which inadvertently discards the genuine causal signals linking user covariates to conversions. To resolve this trade-off, we propose Deep Causal Representation for MTA (DCRMT
